Important enough when your better half is not the tallest man / woman.

I don't subscribe to 17" tyres. 18" and above at least for me.

It's merely an additional warning for the drivers in the rear car that you have applied emergency braking.

How much does it cost for a D segment car?

Yes the "free" service include semi-synthetic oil only. That's why when I got my car a few years back, I negotiated to exclude the "free" service in exchange for discount on the car price. I get a lower car price and I don't have to service my bank loan that includes my service cost. Best part is I get to buy and use my own fully synthetic 5W30 oil. Cheaper some more. Don't know now if they allow you guys to do this or not.

If you bring your own oil, just make sure it's in a sealed new bottle with the right rating. Either 0W30, 5W30, 10W30 or 0W40, 5W40, 10W40. But that would mean you burn the "free" semi-synthetic oil that you have already paid for. The Shell given by Bermaz is 5W40 if I'm not wrong. I don't quite like 40 and prefer to use 30.


I usually go to Ampang for service. Faster and you get to go sembang-sembang with the mechanics and see what they do. It used to be the same with Glenmarie too but I think now they are more strict? Have not gone there for a while since the queue is much longer.

Like what the VW owners did?

RM 200 for waxing only?

Like that better to DIY. Get to appreciate your work and know your car better.

How many times is that gonna be?

It'll last a month or two and you go back in for another wax / wash.

Need to think for the long haul. If you want to make sure your rides look pristine, weekly washes and occasional top ups with wax is recommended.

Ace only sells the black Plastidip if I'm not wrong.

Ikano Power Centre.

Sometimes cannot say also when doing straight calculations. As a daily drive car, you're bound to get scratches here and there. Minor scratch can be easily repaired, major ones would require a repaint. So you do need to take into account that some detailing work and touch up coating needs to be done. Some offer FOC on touch ups on panels that require repainting etc. Some for a fee.

On paper, it sounds very worth it. But how many customers out there has experience with the coating for 5 years? They can give warranty here and there but the longevity in our harsh weather still remains unknown.

There's lots of types of coating available in the market. Some cheaper and some much more expensive. At the end of the day, none of them can promise maintenance free. You still need to wash your car to keep it clean. But easier to clean lah with coating. For how long? That would be a question.
